Plot
Jairam Gangavane (Sachin Pilgaonkar) is an upcoming struggling actor whose older astrologer sister, Jaywanti (Nirmiti Sawant), believes that he is fated for royal living. Her husband, Advocate Manohar Barshinge (Ashok Saraf), is a lawyer but he is a fraud as one has to count the fingers of his own hand after a handshake with him. Manohar has not contested a single legal case in the court of law and prefers out-of-court settlements. One night, while returning home, Jairam gets hit by the Tata Grande car driven by his co-actress, Preeti (Bhargavi Chirmule). Preeti's older brother, Mahesh Thakur (Mahesh Kothare), is the Mumbai Police Commissioner and is married to Meena (Bhagyashree Rane). Preeti had taken the car of Mahesh during the time of the accident so the hit-and-run case becomes that of him.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ideachi Kalpana” as 2010 film directed by Sachin. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2010 film directed by Sachin. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5987902. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 1984 and 1966.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
